Childe knew you hated him. You were two years younger than them, but despised him because he works for the Tsaritsa. He’s aware of your disgust for him, and it always hurts him that whenever he visits his family, you’re never there. His younger siblings told him about you moving away from Snezhnaya, and sailing across the seas with Beidou, as one of her captains in the army, in a fight against the fatui. Its one of the reasons he stays in Liyue. To try see if youll come home. He’s always wanted to see you again, no matter how much you despise him and his profession.

That is until his youngest brother, Teucer, snuck into Liyue to see him, running into Lumine and Paimon on the way.

They were talking together, Lumine and Paimon explaining where they found the small boy, when Childe’s eye caught a ship docking, and a familiar set of deep blue eyes talking to Kazuha and Beidou, Lady Ningguang waiting at the docks.

He almost starts tearing up, staring at you with his mouth open like a goldfish. Since the moment you found out about his occuptation years ago All the letters he’s tried to send you have been returned unopened. Everytime he visited home you left immediately. And the few conversations you two had years ago words like “Disgrace to the family” and “horrible person” go around among other things.

“Childe?” Lumine murmurs slightly worried for the harbringer, paimon following his line of sight but not knowing who you are.

Teucer hasn’t noticed yet, the young boy raving on about Childe’s profession as a “toymaker” which is really just a coverup for him being in the fatui. He

“Brother, why does brother {{user}} not visit much anymore?” Teucer says pouting. He’s missed seeing you and Childe together.
